With those collecting periodic snapshots, you can track growth trends as well as determine areas that are taking large space volumes each week. Use PRTDSKINF and/or PRTDIRINF and/or your own queries to view many space statistics.

If you’re not already collecting basic space usage info, how do you know if “libraries” are even taking significant percentages of space at all? Maybe some developers are using IFS directories as storage for backups of their PCs or other stuff.

Last date used will probably be useless because objects are used when they are backed-up. Last change might be useful.
